some current flex shots, leafs are settled out as much as they are going to I think.
small list of things I want to kind of rework!
front diff housing is getting front armor and a welded truss from leaf pad to leaf pad, and the mounts/ ball gussets are going to be redone to truss all the way to the leaf pad...
along with new spring pads and shock mounts either on the spring pad or the trussing in the knuckle.
going to be modding my design of the front bumper slightly so I can still steer at full tuck, and finishing that off. afterward the tub is getting some armor from quadra tech, 3/16 pre shaped rear corners, and I will build rock sliders and an external a pillar that bolts to them and my inner roll cage and replace the horizontal stock a-b support with a piece of HREW. should make for a decent cage in a roll over if i beef up the b pillar with a removable X-brace
With finishing off the skid pans and possibly tie it all to the frame using a sandwiched plate and rubber with spaced bolts to allow for a small amount of deflection like the body mounts.....
theses are my jeep goals for this year.. after putting two dents in her the stroker motor can wait.. I want to still have the jeep to put it in after all..
welcome to the site.... so are you planning on ferrying the pajero and camper here via a shipping container? then cross country it from there? would be interesting to see the process that would take.
honestly I think you would have more fun buying something to beat while your here for <$2000 cnd but its up to you.
on the mainland in BC there are a few dedicated parks http://www.4wdabc.ca/ they hold some runs in those areas and others. on the island here the most active place I have seen for organizing runs has been the boys on here from Naninamo and some other clubs I'm not part of.. lol would be cool to really get out this summer!

this site has loads of good info. typically you get what you pay for, k40 firestick are both good names for whips. uniden and cobra for units. Research is priceless. your antenna should be grounded directly to the main chassis of the vehicle. I noticed alot more feed back from the power source (i dont have it wired to the battery direct) however feedback went down to respectable levels from when it was mounted on the hatch to now on the tub.
